2020 Map of Taylor Pass

About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal survey of the lower Mississippi Delta region. The map focuses on a transitional marine environment where the open gulf meets the protected waters of Grand Bay. This specific maritime landscape is defined by Bird Island, a small landform situated near the charted waterway of Taylor Pass. The presence of Public Land Survey System boundaries, such as t19s r18e, overlaid across open water and shifting marshland reflects the complex nature of legal land divisions in Louisiana's coastal parishes. This 2020 edition provides a clear visualization of the modern coastline before further geomorphological changes occur in this dynamic deltaic system.
